Perth Festival Films
It’s time to kick back under the stars and enjoy Perth’s most picturesque outdoor movie location.

Films for the festive season include 'The Lighthouse' and 'Venice Calling'.
Tarantino Retrospective
The Backlot Perth presents a Tarantino Retrospective Film Festival from 24 January. The fest features eight of QT’s absolute classics, including 'Reservoir Dogs', 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Kill Bill'.
In Focus: Wes Anderson
Each month, Palace Cinemas dedicates a season to some of the world’s best and most acclaimed directors and in January, they present 'In Focus: Wes Anderson'.

Stan At The Backlot
